梅拉尼小屋之家飯店(Meleni Cottage Houses)

The most quaint traditional Cypriot home we’ve stayed in. Better than a lot of the hotels around. Petro and Eleni could not do enough for us and our boys aged 9 & 5 loved the pool. The village itself is lovely and some great taverns in walking distance for local dinners.

As someone who knows this area of Cyprus very well and stay in some of Limassol’s top 5* hotels each year, we were delighted to stumble across Meleni Cottages, a real gem of a place only minutes from Limassol’s luxury Amathusa area. As we had ourselves and 5 grown up children with partners, it was not the year for staying the Four Seasons! So we searched the area and as we know Pareklissia village well (Melis is the best taverna on the island), we took a chance and booked a few rooms at Meleni Cottages. We were met by Eleni and Petrou the owners, who we saw working hard every day to prepare the rooms for new guests and cleaning the grounds and the pool. During our stay, which went without a problem, we were given warm, freshly made cakes and fresh fruit from the owners. The aircon, shower, beds, etc all work well and the traditional look was so nice. Our grown up family enjoyed the pool everyday and relaxing in the sunbeds and seating area. If you are looking for good value and close to all that Limassol has to offer, why not do what we did and risk something a little different. The price saving is worth the 10 minute drive and you might be smitten with it as we are. Sad to leave, but we will be back in October!! Ray
